Yicong Liu Audrey,Chopin: Waltz No.19 in A minor, Op.Posth, Chopin

Waltz No.19 in A minor, Op.Posth, Chopin

Concept and Design:

When I first accidentally open the Music app, it recommend me this beautiful and elegant waltz for “guess what I like”, and the beautiful melody let me think up a dynamic picture, because it’s a song for the waltz ,which people can dance to. So the element of the piano and dancers, fantastic dress and crystal high heels suddenly crushed into my mind.Then I seemed like know what I would like to add into this black square.

My design use the similarity, continuity and proximity of the Gestalt theory, because the pattern I want to create is the piano and two dancers ,a male and a female who are holding each other and drawn into this beautiful and smooth melody, the word of “waltz” has been deformated and distorted and showing like the trial of the couple which had left on the dance floor. They whirled across the dance floor and the waltz company with their movements.The English words I used is “I” which can be seen as the couple and also the pianist, the trail on the ground is the “waltz”being distorted.

Process:

   First, it was so hard to create a 3 dimension picture for I intended to make the piano also looks like a stare access to the dance floor,so I tried and failed for many times to make it looks like a spiral stare which is painted in black and white.However, the angle between each stairs and the width of each black and while rectangle were so hard to adjust to the best formation and composition in my minds.And I also asked the fellow for more suggestions, he recommended me that I should make the piano stares much longer and extend it to the left side of the whole paper, which can make the patterns stretch even longer and more extended. The composition of the people and the piano stares also have been a block to me in the designing process.The position I should put into, and how these patterns should be organized also worried me a lot, when I thought about they can reflect and call on with each other, then I finally know how this whole designing being organized.

Conclusion:

    Because I didn’t save the ai version of my design, so I didn’t make the piano extended.If I can make a progress, I would extend the stares and make some variation of the circles.
